MosquitoSmasher Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Just a little thread to show how Mike turned from grandpa Mike, lol, into bad-ass Mike. I think we all remember the many discussions we've had about 'Albert De Silva' or 'Grandpa' or 'Old man' . Things like that, way before we even had it confirmed that there were three protagonists. We also only saw the guy from the side and we didn't even knew IF he was going to be the protagonist. We had theories that he could be the boss of two possible other protagonists and so on. But now i'm straying away from the subject....i guess people just want an awesome looking character. A bad-ass if you will, a guy like Robert De Niro in Heat for example, that IS my definition of how bad-ass can be seen. Then finally came the second trailer and plenty of complaints could be seen about Michael and i guess with good reason, cause he truly did look like a rather old guy, almost too friendly looking and what not. And it's clear that Rockstar has seen the complaints and decided to change him. Not only does his face look A LOT more realistic and detailed, he simply looks way more bad-ass and much 'tougher' looking i guess. This truly reminds me of De Niro in Heat. He's f*cking awesome now. Few nice examples: Old Mike New Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MosquitoSmasher Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 Don't forget the really old Mike from T1, he did look even older in T1 imho Ah yes! http://www.igta5.com/images/gta-5-trailer-...-los-santos.jpg Yeah duh, i know that...no reason to tell me that. And as for the other charactters, i don't think Trevor changed much and Franklin only a bit. I think you also forget that Niko's older look was in screenshots and videos that were released more than a year before its release. While the time between trailer 2 and the character trailers wasn't so long. Do correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degrees Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 (edited) Franklin looked a lot more Hispanic in Trailer 1. He was bald too wasn't he? He looked like Vin Desal. Anyway I like the new Michael hope they stick with the current model. Edited May 26, 2013 by Degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algonquin Assassin Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I hope there are trench coats and fedoras in GTA V. Since it's unlikely the mafia will play a big role Michael is the closest we have to old school mafiaoso. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
